Ingredients

Monkey Bread Ingredients

  • 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough (10–16 oz total, depending on brand)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (use salted if you prefer, but cut added salt)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated for best texture and flavor)
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced (adjust for how garlicky you like it)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted butter)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a bundt pan well with butter or nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until combined.
  • Open the biscuit cans and cut each biscuit into quarters.
  • Working quickly, dip each biscuit piece into the butter-Parmesan mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Use tongs or a fork to avoid losing coating.
  • Layer the coated pieces in the prepared bundt pan, building them up evenly. Pour any remaining butter mixture over the top so the top pieces get flavor too.

Baking

  • Bake 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a biscuit in the center is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 5–8 minutes, then invert onto a serving platter.
  • Serve warm. Pull pieces apart and dip as desired.

Notes

For a richer bite, swap half the Parmesan for shredded mozzarella. Use vegan butter and a plant-based Parmesan for a dairy-free version. Add fresh herbs after baking for extra flavor.
